Matthew 17:17

Mark 9:19

9:19 He answered them, ⁷  “You ⁸  unbelieving ⁹  generation! How much longer ¹⁰  must I be with you? How much longer must I endure ¹¹  you? ¹²  Bring him to me.”

¹ tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

² tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”

³ tn Or “faithless.”

⁴ tn Grk “how long.”

⁵ tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.

⁶ sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.

⁷ tn Grk “And answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant, but the phrasing of the sentence was modified slightly to make it clearer in English.

⁸ tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”

⁹ tn Or “faithless.”

¹⁰ tn Grk “how long.”
